Historical Simulation and Wargames (CRC Press)
Friday, 11 October 2024

This book is a comprehensive study on analog historical simulation games, exploring both their theoretical concepts and practical solutions. Riccardo Masini considers the various ways used by simulation games to depict the different dynamics of historical events and analyzes how commercial analog miniature and board wargames can become valuable tools for historical research and provide a more modern and captivating interpretation of past events.

The nature of “simulation” is discussed, exposing its differences with other forms of ludic activity, both analog and digital, as well as intellectual speculation. Many of the most common game mechanics are analyzed in depth and in their practical use, to answer whether “reconstructive” simulations dedicated to historical episodes can provide valuable, reliable and useful insights for researchers.
